What a good chance to remind ourselves that setting priorities are needed in our lives, especially if we are writers. Isn’t it interesting that people find time to do ‘everything they want to do’ regardless of how busy their lives are? Each writer must decide for themselves the level of priority they wish to give to their craft. If being a best-selling author is the goal, writing cannot be a low priority in one’s life.
I think that is a person who uses long words. And, as a rule, I do not in my fiction writing. But, paraprosdokians can be fun. Thanks for the comment.

Oh, James, I love that word! I’ll have to present it the next time I am grammarian at Toastmasters. Do you know what a sesquipedalian is?

I don’t write about anything I can’t spell.
You are sooo restrictive.
